Yes but if there is illegal activity going on in the house that was searched, the police still arrest the criminal, just on different charges. There were plenty of other things going on besides the WMD in Iraq, not the least of which was oppression of the people and countless war crimes...

There are a lot of conspiracy theories floating around about Bush's motives for the war in Iraq. Of course since the Democrats are out of power they are the ones floating the theories. But I disagree that Bush went into Iraq with the intent of deceiving the American public about WMD. That is...

People, the last post by Flashboy is 6 months ago, so any congratulations for him reaching his 9 point weekly goal at this point are late at best. I'm certain the profits have already been spent.

Maybe we need a new forum. I think Chit Chat has a bad reputation because that is where all the trash threads are put. Maybe the new forum could be called something descriptive like: "Failed Trading Forum Threads" or "Garbage" I'm sure you all could come up with some descriptive...

Good points. As a former volunteer moderator I'd say that the only way to effectively moderate the Trading forum would be to put about 10 people on it to deal with the sheer quantity of posts in a timely manner. I would also say that the expectation of some members that moderators take action...

Keep spinning. Just because he turns over WMD doesn't mean that implicitly we are now trusting him or are gullible as you imply. Eliminating / accounting for some WMD is better than eliminating no WMD, a point that I think even you would not disagree with. And I think some of the WMD may be...

With regards to the ones blowing up Israeli citizens, the money list is incompletely known but Saddam is known to have paid 30 million to terrorists and the families of suicide bombers. Cutting off that flow of money should help the situation in Israel, but Iraq was only one source. The other...

You're not sure about Saddam's links to terrorism? The fact that there is new evidence that after he went into hiding he was running cells of terrorists against the US soldiers in Iraq seems to be prima facie evidence regarding his disposition towards terrorsim. Also, the fact that Saddam...

Worst case scenario is the Democratic party imploding and splintering. This would lead to multiple parties splitting the vote on the Democratic side, and possibly splintering of the GOP as well and we move into more of a coalition type of political process like in Britain. But until a 3rd party...

retinal scanners They are in all the movies so it must be the obvious next step... right after Baron signs that 3 movie deal.

Here are the user names that he has gone by that I've found through some quick detective work. If you look at the history, he often shills himself by making a post and then agreeing with himself and saying something like: "good points" or by asking himelf questions in typical shill fashion...

ES (sp 500), YM (dow), NQ (nasdaq 100). Then there are the bonds and the european stock indexes that are also commonly traded.

Clinton WAS impeached. He wasn't removed from office. What brand of history do you subscribe to?

You say my statement is sexist. You also say it MAY be sexist. I say make up your mind and end the equivocation. "I don't want Steinbrener to sign Giambi for another year." This doesn't mean that I disapprove of Steinbrener but rather of the signing Giambi. I disapprove of the military...

I guess I should have said "were components of money management." I don't claim to be any kind of MM expert, so maybe I'm off base and it is primarily position sizing and not stop loss and profit target. I'm just here to learn. Thanks for your comments.

As a backup system here are the simple rules: Buy at the highest high of the previous two bars + some constant on a stop. Do the reverse to go short. The system is always in (SAR). Feel free to add whatever MM rules you wish. Apply to a 15 minute chart: (or you could pick another timeframe)...

Yes I thought stoploss and profit target were money management. Oddiduro, If you want to use Gann's system that's fine with me, though if Gann won't let you add MM then there's probably no point.

oddiduro, The statement "Any system can be made to work with money management, some work better in real time than with backtesting," has caught my attention. Rather than asking for elaboration on this subject in the form of commentary and reasoning, I am wondering if you would put this to...

This is all a strawman argument. You so far have said nothing that relates to my initial argument. "Women should not use men's bathrooms." Is that statement also sexist, because my conclusion was arrived at via gender? I reject your conclusion above as being absurd. It is too bad that...
